Like any loyal wife, Melania Trump has come to the defense of her husband some hours to the final debate. Dismissing her husband's vulgarties on the box office video co - starring Billy Bush , as 'boys' talk, and should therefore no longer be a subject of national discourse that has the capability of tilting the election in Hilary's favor.
She has decided to accept her husband's apologies and move on, the incident happened over a decade ago anyway, and she still did not understand why the nation will not forgive and forget her boy husband youthful exuberance at age 52! Two reasons why the nation has decided to make a meal out of this one is because unlike Melania, that has the title of first Lady to gain from her magnanimity, similar expression of that virtue will not profit the nation. Such intransigence at an age that Obama has already rounded up his first term in the office is excusable, but not pardonable, especially from a heart that is not contrite.
This issue is however more moralistic than political at least to the average American and their system. They run a pro-feminine system that posits that an average woman is hampered by a male dominated environment and an egalitarian society would be the last jig saw piece in creation picture. So, the fear is that a 52 year old man who is always in the 'locker room' talking like a 'boy' may grow up to be an old man who does not know the position of his wife in his house talkless of the society.
PMB has permanently been in the news of late for the wrong reasons, but this time, for domestic reasons that should not be of our concern, if it had been kept at home. In one of his too numerous trips abroad, the President admitted to one of the most powerful women in the world during a Berlin conference that, 'I do not know the party my wife belongs to, I know she belongs to my kitchen, living room and the other room'. This sexist remark was made in apparent frustration to his wife earlier admission that she's not going to vote for his reelection if he does not shake up his indolent government. PMB ought to be aware that his popularity and goodwill have plummeted like the Naira and therefore must be at his humble best, at least for now.
This is a matrix of socio-political tendencies; firstly, a house divided against itself cannot stand, both speakers of the GOP and APC are clearly not in tandem with the Presidential nominee and the President respectively. Secondly, there are deeper cracks at home than the potential first lady and substantive first lady are admitting.
William Shakespeare once states: "hell hast no fury like a woman scorned". It may be a bit late for Trump and PMB, but there is a lesson in all these for those who believe that Eve was an afterthought of creation.
I do agree with you that PMB should have at list handled these issue of his woman with so humility and. Come home to handle it in the kitchen, living room or which ever room his choice. Again we must try and understand that PMB is carrying a lot on both his shoulder and head like the ooni the a are crown and is telling so much on his ability to tolerate much of our choices or form of advice's... Not even from his kitchen cabinet.But for where you ended it...
